Abstract

This paper describes the design of an RPC system for building object-oriented distributed software systems. The general requirements for such a system are to provide mechanisms for supporting inheritance, polymorphism, dynamic binding, and modular development in implementing distributed software systems. This paper presents the functionalities of this RFC system to support these general requirements. It also briefly describes the experiences with two previous versions of this system and how they led to the design of the final system. This system was implemented as a part of the programming environment of the Nexus distributed operating system.
